Sternsinger bring blessings and hope to the Wetzlar district house!

Wetzlar, Deutschland - On January 6, 2025, the star singers of the Catholic parish "Our dear wife" Wetzlar visited the district house in Wetzlar. The group consisted of four children and adolescents who performed the history of the birth of Jesus and the three kings with poems and songs. District Administrator Carsten Braun welcomed the star singers and presented them with a donation. He thanked for the visit and use of the star singers who work for a fairer world.

As part of their visit, the star singers brought the blessing "20*C+M+B*25" at the district house. The letters C, M, B stand for the Latin saying "Christus Mansionem Benedicat", which means "Christ bless this house". The Sternsinger campaign is launched annually by the children's mission plant, whereby the children collect donations for aid projects in third world countries. This year the collected donations flow to Kenya and Colombia.

aid projects in Kenya and Colombia

In the Turkana region in Kenya, children only have limited access to schools and medical care. The partner organization of the children's mission is committed to health, nutrition and education for children's rights. In Colombia, the project partners are devoted to protection, education and the participation of children, whereby programs for peace education and participation are also offered. According to sternsinger.de , the Dreikönigssingen campaign is devoted to a thematic focus and an examination country every year in order to get to know the life situation of children better. The donations collected are not only used for aid projects in the examination country, but worldwide.

Some parishes want to support specific projects in order to promote motivation for willingness to donate. Project ideas can also be proposed independently if they meet the approval criteria of the award commission that meet four times a year. Contact can be made for further information on the fundraiser, such as lahn-dill-kreis.de reported.
